Hallstead Farms

Hallstead Farms, Simmental cattle, Lexington, KY, is set on 200 acres in the Bluegrass region near Louisville. It has more than 15 years of breeding experience, holds membership in the American Simmental Association and runs herd-health screenings for common conditions such as bovine viral diarrhea and leptospirosis. Calves are raised on rotational pasture and receive daily handling to foster gentle temperaments, strong social bonds and healthy growth. The farm traces its roots to a family operation established in the 1950s and selects for balanced frame and fertility suited to both commercial herds and local exhibitions.

Records of performance and pedigree are maintained in coordination with regional breeding groups and shared among neighboring farms. A long-term relationship with a large-animal veterinarian ensures tailored vaccination and nutrition plans for consistent growth. Visitors and fellow breeders note the farm’s relaxed atmosphere and commitment to transparency in responsible breeding practices.
